OFFICIAL PAPER OF GRANITE
OOUNTY AND THE CITY OF
PHILIPSBURG, MONT.
ROY A. lXEITZ, Publisher
ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
ly to Washington news for the next
few weeks, and it will r hake excit-
ing reading.. Th e pash-and-carry
cohorts have the edge now, but the
isolationists haven't given up the
ship by a long shot and they have
)otent weapons at their disposal.
Everyone in touch with affairs
ibroad seems sure that Hitler will
make new peace overtures to Brit-
ain and France before long--Mus-
solini's strange speech of Septem-
ber 23 seemed to disclose the way
the wind is blowing. Likewise,
everyone seems convinced that
France and Britain will again, as
before, say nothing doing--they are
sure Chamberlain meant it when
he said the Allies were out to des-
troy Hitlerism once and for all.
Abroad, bitterness seems to grow.
In a recent Paris dispatch to the Na-
tion, Louis Fischer said that "the
mood in Paris and London today is
to fight for a Versailles which will
out-Versailles Brest-Litovsk." (The
harsh treaty of Brest-Litovsk was
forced on defeated Russia when she
made her pre-generaI armistice

Those who hoped for a short and
sweet special session of Congress
which would talk little and get im-
mediately to the business of repeal-
ing the arms embargo, are apparent-
ly due for disappointment. The
President's strong speech, though it
contained no surprises; and simply
dramatically reiterated the Admin-
istration's past position, apparently
made the isolationist bloc more than
ever determined to do everything
in its power to prevent the sale of
implements of war to belligerents.
News dispatches indicate there is
little chance for a showdown before
October 20th or later.
The apparently certain delay
which will occur before the cash-
and-carry proposal will be brought
to a vote endangers the White House
plan. A recent count showed that
44 senators which is only five short
of a majorityhad gone on record
in favor of repeal of the embargo,
while 20 were definitely in favor of
of maintaining it. In other words,
if the proposal would be brought
to a vote at once it would probably
pass, by d safe margin. But, as time
goes by, the isolationists get in
stronger and stronger licks. It is
said that ongressional mail, which
is reaching the lawmaker's desks
in almost unprecedented quantity,
runs five to one against repeal. The
opponents of repeal have lined up
a number of champions who hold
no public positions, but have large
and extremely diverse followings--
Henry Ford, Colonel Lindbergh,
Captain Eddie .Rickenbacker, Her-
bert Hoover, Father Coughlin', etc.
The fact that some of these men
often differ violently in viewpoint
when it comes to most matters, has
made it impossible to form an organ-
ized cohesive "peace bloc" as was
first planned. But that doesn't nec-
essarily make their work less ef-
fective.. And the senators who are
• fightiflg repeal, such as Johnson and
Borah, are seasoned campaigners,
who know every parliamentary
trick, and have championed with
success many a seemingly lost cause
before.
It is pointed out in thinking quar-
ters that prolonged and bitter de-
bate and, going by rbmarks made
following the President's speech, it
seems certain that much angry
name-calling will mar congressional
arguments--may endanger the na-
tional interest• In other words, if
both sides insist that victory for
the other side would make American
armed intervention certain, a lot of
people may believe it whether or
not it is true, and thus make a drift
into war easy. And this brings us
to the present attitude of the people
toward mixing in Europe's quarrel.
Going by all the available evidence,
it is obvious that we are overwhelm-
ingly opposed to getting in. That
may seem a paradox in view of the
fact that, according to a recent For-
tune poll, something less than one
pei" cent of the people are for Ger-
many. But we have not yet for-
gotten the disillusionment of the last
war; we remember flkat.:Europe
still owes us some $10,00,00,000 in
war debts which will.av# be paid
unless a major miracle occurs. And
many of us think that Britain and
France, even though we want them
to win, have made a terrible mess
of matters the last five years. And,
of vital importance, the potency of
foreign atrocity propaganda seems
to have far smaller chance of being
effective than in 1914-18.
This is, however, a poor time to
gamble with forecasting the future,
and anything can happen. Those
columnists who tell you to take your
foreign news with many. grins of
salt these days probably offer first-
class advice. In the meantime, your
attention is going to be given large-

Battleground of 1675 to
Open Up in Rhode Island
SOUTH KINGSTON, R. L--The
site of the Great Swamp fight, one
of the bloodiest battles in New Eng-
land history, soon will be accessi-
ble to sightseers.
"In"1675 a band of colonists at-
tacked' and wiped out an encamp-
ment of Narragansett Indians on
a small island in the swamp. A
simple monument marked the bat-
tle scene, but it could be reached
only by a private path.
Now CCC workers, under super-
vision of the national park service,
are building a road and foot trail,
linking the battlefield with the main
highway.
The road will end at a parking
space a half-mile from the battle-
ground, and from there visitors will
have to travel the remaining dis-
tance over an eight-foot trail so
"the historical character of the area
may not be modified by the pres-
ence of automobiles."

Time Change Ignored
By Traveling Rooter
MONTREAL.--A rooster which
refused to change its rising
schedule because the sun in Can-
ada rose five hours later than in
its native England arrived here
on the last trip of the liner As-
cania.
The bird was one oI a collec-
tion of rare fowl which C. G.
May, British delegate, is taking
to the World's Poultry congress
at Cleveland.
May said the rooster crowed
every night at the hour to which
it was accustomed in England
and made no allowances for Sun-
rise or the various time zones en-
countered on the crossing.
Pathologist Gives Tip
On Killing Fever Tick

prevent infection with the dreaded
Rocky Mountain spotted fever by
woodticks has been advanced by Dr.

state department of health labora-

vania.
Dr. De Rivas said that when a
tick is observed burrowing into the
skin, the simplest and safest thing
to do is to touch it with the lighted
end of a cigar or cigarette.
When singed'; Dr. De Rivas said,
the tick will drop off of its own ac-
cord. If it is pulled off, he pointed
out, it will take a fraction of an
ounce of flesh with it.

Armed, he knocked on the door of
Mrs. Andrew Wood and demanded:
"Give me some money."
But Mrs. Wood was too quick for
him. She shut the door and caught
the would-be baby robber's hand be-
tween the door and the jamb. The
boy struggled and managed to es-
cape only when he dropped the gun.
It was then that Mrs. Wood found
he had attempted the hold-up with
a toy revolver.
Trout Is Really Caught I
But Trophy Gets Away I
EXETER, CALIF.--P. J. Wellsl
caught the fish all right--it was the I
trophy that got away.
After eating a 26Va-inch trout he
caught, Wells learned to his sorrow
it would have won him a new cast-
ing rod offered for the biggest catch
of the season.
Although he had photographs and
witnesses, it was a case of "corpus,
delicti" so far as winning the trophy'
was concerned and he didn't get it.

months, the canary returned and
perched on the fence in front of the
